Change the Name of Files or Folders

 

1. Navigate to the location of the file or folder you want to
change.
2. Right-click the item and choose Rename from the popup menu..
3. Type the new name of the item.
Avoid using special characters in the new file name. Characters such
as slashes and percent signs can cause problems when transferring
files from one system to another. Although Vista prevents you from
using certain characters, stick with only letters and numbers.
4. Press Enter to complete the name change.
You can’t have two files with the same name in a folder. Change
the location of one of the files before renaming it.
5. You can also change the name of the file by clicking the
icon of a file or folder and then clicking the name (not
the icon) and typing the new name
